====== Retaliation ======


Retaliation refers to the act of returning an attack or harm in response to an initial [[aggression]] or wrongdoing. It can be a form of revenge or punishment for a perceived wrong. Retaliation can take many forms, including physical violence, legal action, economic sanctions, or social ostracism. It is often seen in situations where one party feels that they have been wronged or mistreated by another, and they seek to take action to rectify the situation or seek justice. However, retaliation can also escalate conflicts and lead to further harm, and it is generally considered preferable to seek peaceful and constructive ways to resolve disputes.
